A lot of eyes will be on three Bukidnon natives when the P3.5 million ICTSI Del Monte Championship gets underway on Tuesday.
Two of them have been given more than a fair chance to prevail as the Philippine Golf Tour enters its concluding three-leg swing in Mindanao.
However, the third native, arguably the biggest pro, adds an interesting dynamic to the competition.

**3rd ODI: Dominant Afghanistan Eye Historic Series Whitewash Over Bangladesh**
*By Parth Dhall | Oct 13, 2025 | 09:51 pm*
Afghanistan and Bangladesh are set to lock horns in the 3rd and final ODI at Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Stadium. The Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan side has dominated the series so far, securing an unassailable 2-0 lead after the first two games. In the second ODI, Afghanistan bowled Bangladesh out for just 109 runs while successfully defending a modest total of 190.
With the series already in their pocket, Afghanistan now eye their maiden ODI series whitewash. Bangladesh, on the other hand, have nothing more to lose and will look to salvage some pride in the final match.
### Match Preview
**Pitch Report and Conditions**
The pitches at Sheikh Zayed Stadium are generally slow, making it challenging for batters to hit boundaries consistently. While pacers get some movement early on, spinners tend to play a crucial role throughout the match. The conditions are expected to be hot once again, with no signs of rain disrupting the game.
### Teams Overview
**Afghanistan’s Bowling Strength**
Afghanistan’s success so far can largely be attributed to their bowlers. Azmatullah Omarzai has been impressive with six wickets in the series, while Rashid Khan made history with a five-wicket haul in the 2nd ODI. Despite their strong bowling performances, Afghanistan’s batting has struggled during the middle overs.
**Bangladesh’s Batting Woes**
Bangladesh continue to face challenges in finding consistent contributors in their batting line-up. Their top order faltered in the second ODI, which resulted in a disappointing defeat.
### Team News
**Afghanistan XI Update**
Rahmat Shah will miss the final ODI due to injury. Darwish Rasooli is expected to replace him in the middle order.
Probable Afghanistan XI:
– Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wicket-keeper)

– Darwish Rasooli
– Hashmatullah Shahidi (captain)
– Azmatullah Omarzai

– Towhid Hridoy
– Mehidy Hasan Miraz (captain)
– Nurul Hasan (wicket-keeper)
– Jaker Ali
– Rishad Hossain
– Tanzim Hasan

**Why Afghanistan Withdrew from T20I Tri-Series in Pakistan**
*By Parth Dhall | Oct 13, 2025, 10:56 PM*
In a significant development, Afghanistan has withdrawn from the upcoming T20I Tri-Series scheduled to be held in Pakistan, which also involves Sri Lanka. The series was set to take place between November 17 and 29 but has now been impacted by the ongoing military conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
### Rising Tensions Affect Cricket Plans
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has responded to this setback by beginning preparations for alternate arrangements. The decision comes amid escalating tensions following Taliban forces’ retaliation against airstrikes in Kabul. According to the Taliban government, 58 Pakistani soldiers were killed in “retaliatory” strikes carried out on a Saturday night, further straining the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
### ICC Urged to Prepare Alternate Plans
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has called on the International Cricket Council (ICC) to prepare “alternate plans” to ensure the tri-series proceeds despite Afghanistan’s withdrawal. The ICC’s involvement is seen as critical to managing the situation and maintaining the cricketing calendar.
### Strategic Moves by PCB
In an effort to keep the tournament on track, the PCB has invited Sri Lanka to play three T20Is starting November 11, ahead of the tri-series involving Pakistan and Afghanistan. Additionally, the Pakistan and Sri Lankan cricket boards are in discussions to organize a three-match T20I series in Colombo from January 1 to 10, signaling strong cricketing ties despite regional instability.
The situation remains fluid, and cricket fans will be watching closely to see how the boards navigate these challenges in the coming weeks.

**Will Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli Continue Playing After Australia ODIs?**
*By Parth Dhall | October 13, 2025, 07:13 PM*
Former India coach Ravi Shastri believes the upcoming ODI series against Australia will be a crucial juncture for two of Indian cricket’s greatest batting icons, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. With both players having retired from T20 Internationals and Test cricket, ODIs remain their only active international format. Shastri asserts that their future in this format hinges on their “form, fitness, and hunger” during this high-profile series Down Under.
### Series Significance: Fitness, Hunger, and Form Are Key
Speaking at Kayo Sport’s Summer of Cricket launch and in an exclusive conversation with cricket.com.au, Shastri emphasized the importance of the upcoming ODI series for Rohit and Kohli. He said,
*”That’s why they’re here (playing the ODI series against Australia). They’re part of the mix. It depends on their fitness, their hunger, and, of course, form.”*
The former coach also drew parallels with Australia’s Steve Smith, who retired from ODI cricket earlier this year, highlighting how fitness and motivation are critical for longevity in the format.
### Experience Matters in Big Games
Shastri underlined the irreplaceable value of experience when it comes to high-pressure matches. He remarked,
*”But there’s no substitute for experience when it comes to the big games, as we saw in the Champions Trophy. Come the big games and the big boys step up.”*
Notably, both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli played pivotal roles in India’s recent successes, including the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy.
### Emerging Young Talent Challenging the Veterans
Alongside praising the veterans, Shastri also lauded the fresh wave of talent pushing for spots in the ODI squad. Young batsmen like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Tilak Varma have shown promising potential. Shastri further appreciated India’s all-round options, mentioning Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, and Axar Patel as key contributors.
He said, *”A lot of good young talent and a lot of all-rounders as well in Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, and Axar Patel.”*
### Match Schedule: India vs Australia ODI Series
– **1st ODI:** October 19, Perth
– **2nd ODI:** October 23, Adelaide
– **3rd ODI:** October 25, Sydney
Following the ODI series, India will play a five-match T20I series against Australia starting on October 29 in Canberra.
### Squad Update: Shubman Gill to Lead India in ODIs
In a recent change, Shubman Gill has been appointed as India’s ODI captain for the tour of Australia, replacing Rohit Sharma. Shreyas Iyer will serve as the vice-captain.
**India’s ODI squad for Australia tour:**
– Shubman Gill (Captain)
– Rohit Sharma
– Virat Kohli
– Shreyas Iyer (Vice-Captain)
– Axar Patel
– KL Rahul (Wicket-Keeper)
– Nitish Kumar Reddy
– Washington Sundar
– Kuldeep Yadav
– Harshit Rana
– Mohammed Siraj
– Arshdeep Singh
– Prasidh Krishna
– Dhruv Jurel (Wicket-Keeper)
– Yashasvi Jaiswal
As the series approaches, all eyes will be on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to see if they can prove their fitness, form, and hunger to continue representing India in ODIs, amidst fierce competition from emerging young stars.
